Commented ABYSMAL DAWN guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott: "After a series of setbacks, illness, and going through a world of shit in our personal lives, we had no choice but to make this record our revenge and the defining moment for ABYSMAL DAWN. We've had the finished mixes for about a week now and everyone that has heard it has been just blown away. We can already tell that this will be the record that the band will become known for. It's a very varied, extreme, technical, and melodic record and I can promise you that no one will be disappointed."
ABYSMAL DAWN has announced the first North American tour in support of "Leveling The Plane of Existence" for early next year. The band will be team up with KATAKLYSM, ALL SHALL PERISH and DECREPIT BIRTH for a four-week trek that will kick off on February 24 in Cleveland, Ohio.
